They’ll get more votes but people are still going to vote strategically because what choice do they have.

Tenant providing bear minimum information and impatient landlord. Engaging post OP.
I don't think it's about being doomed and giving up. For me it's just accepting the fact that a change of course is going to happen at whatever rate it is going to happen because the people who are driving it will do whatever they are compelled to do or want to do. Whether that is fast, or slow, or not at all barely feels like any of my business. I do what I can individually.
I went to a climate protest in Canada last week and it was way to tame to actually get anything accomplished.
The main part of the protest was walking down a main artery. For protesters, there is incentive to walk slowly and spread out to make the walk longer and disrupt status-quo longer, but the organizers clearly only had permission to march for a specific duration so they were in the back hurrying people forward so we'd stay within our allotted time window. Maybe 30 minutes. Once a year. It was pointless.
Add to that that 90% of the people there were exactly the people you'd expect to be there and it just felt like a waste of time.
But doesn't this guy already have money?
(Also no to ownership. All the offices are leased.)
Lol no I wish!
I swear to god we just had all our leases expire and chose to renew ALL OF THEMMMM.
In fact, for the main office we've just signed a new multi-year lease in a new building. It's smaller tho. Renovations currently in progress.
But no raises. Times are too tough.
Ugh I really want to out the company I work at. Of all companies we should be going and advocating for remote.
But we aren't. 'Because being with each is SO valuable'.
Why do people post on twitter like this? What's the point?
A little less than the last big one I went to, but not bad. Several thousand people for sure. Critical mass during the walk. The large majority of people bail during the end speeches.
I went to one on Friday (not NY) AMA
Overrated. The real perk is learning how to not eat it all at once
I used a tutorial book to help me create a python text game, then I rewrote it and have been casually adding things. I sort of want to re-write it again in Java to see how it compares, I'm more comfortable with java so I'm hoping I could focus more on system design. I'm noticing that the more I add to the base game the more spread out my solutions become, so addressing that is the main interest I have with it.
A new project I'm working on is a simple web scraper. I liked building a lexer/parser in the text game and I think having my own web scraper would be useful.
I'm still learning so I aim for projects I can 'finish' in 2-4 weeks.
Oh and a windows notepad that looks like the windows notepad except more customizable. I like the idea of building utilities.
Is there a word for it? When I posted it I was hoping someone might correct me :)
I made the argument that it's expensive but it was more based on the idea that I can get a cheapo used console with a few games and that'll do me for a whole generation. That and I think that PC gaming has a deeper void to get sucked into (mainly keyboards and monitors)
But now a couple weeks later and I realize that I really enjoy my crappy business desktop PC and I could see building a PC in the future.
They each have their advantages. When I go to a friends house we play console. At home I'd rather play PC, if I had the choice.
It's more that the US is all about personal liberty and personal freedoms. Other places that you're referring to have a charter of rights, which still allow for personal freedoms but are also constructed to protect minorities or at risk groups, like Jewish people.
That said the Bill of Rights that the Americans produced was first of it's kind and amazing. Personally I just don't think they got it quite right and charter of rights take into account the personal liberties of all people and not just the dominant majority.
It was built for rich republicans and now it's home to their base.

We do that in Vancouver and it's good. The fines are steep.
But it's opened a mini industry of people being paid to visit homes so they aren't 'empty'.
It is in chrome, but implemented differently. Firefox actually does it better since you can save them as bookmarks
